A new scale for rating beer

[kenllama]

I've been brewing a bunch lately (a honey ale and a British-style "Real Ale"), which means I've been prepping lots of bottles to put beer in. You can buy clean new bottles, but with enough foresight its cheaper just to wash and re-use commercial bottles of the right sort. But you don't want your beer in something with a Sam Adams or a Guinness

LOL...that's how I started rating my pasta and other glass jars. When I lived on my own in St. Louis and in Chicago, seemed that I used a lot more food products in glass jars. I started saving them for use as candleholders at events. They look pretty if the glass is clean, but getting all the schmutz off could be a pain. In the end, Classico pasta's labels were often the hardest to remove, and not the prettiest jars, but they were the only easily-available sauce that didn't have sugar or high fructose corn syrup. The cheaper pasta usually had easier to remove labels.
